Willkommen! How the Germans have taken King Kane to their hearts

England ace quickly wins over team-mates and public at Bayern
AHEAD of Bayern Munich's trip to Borussia Dortmund for the big Bundesliga "Klassiker" at the start of the month, Dortmund coach Edin Terzic was asked how his team would deal with Harry Kane. "Collectively," Terzic insisted. It didn't work.
Within three minutes of kick-off, Kane had evaded his markers, dropped stealthily into one of those deeper positions that only he spots and launched an attack which led to the corner from which Dayot Upamecano put Bayern ahead. Kane scored the next three goals in a 4-0 win. It was his second consecutive Bundesliga hat-trick, his third overall and part of a total tally of 17 league goals, plus four more in the Champions League, since he swapped London for Munich in the summer.
The England captain has taken Germany by storm. No Bundesliga player has scored more after just 11 games (Bayern legend Robert Lewandowski came closest with 16 during the 2019-20 season) and no player has ever scored so frequently, with Kane finding the net on average every 57 minutes. For context: last season's Bundesliga joint top scorers Niclas Fullkrug and Christopher Nkunku scored 16 goals each.
There was huge pressure on Kane to deliver after Bayern broke the €100million-barrier for the first time in their history.
